Don't you think you're being a bit harsh on CW? Tony didn't lead Cap and the others to battle with the intent to fight. He was prepared to fight if it came to that, which it did thanks to Captain America, but fighting was not his intention

--Previous Message--: This was another excellent issue of this great : new series. Fallout from Civil War#4 hit, : with everyone (particularly Misty) trying to : deal with the death of Goliath. I liked : seeing Misty rip Iron Man a new one. : Although he's still a Grade A jackass, : Palmiotti and Gray don't pump it up too much : in this title. : : Meanwhile, the black market Skrull organ : transplant storyline begins, making an : interesting mention of the Skrull Kill Krew : mini-series from years back. We also learn : more about the new Tarantula, discovering : that there may be scientific genius behind : that violent demeanor of hers. : : And the end of the issue was also a treat. : Misty and Colleen reunited with Luke Cage, : and Misty tried to talk to Cap one on one : instead of pulling an Iron Man and luring : him into a trap to force the issue. Word of : advice, Iron Man: no one is going to trust : someone who needs to trick a person and lure : a person into a trap designed to take the : person down in order to force that person : listen to you. : : That said, that damn Paladin turned traitor : and took everybody out, including his own : teammates as well as Cap and Luke. Things : don't look good at all! As of the end of : this issue, the resistance has been : delivered a mighty blow -- Captain America : has been captured! However, I suspect that : Shang-Chi, who had become aware of Paladin's : plans, slipped something (like a special : pill maybe) to the Capster to help him : counter the effects of the gas. In any case, : I can't wait to read the next issue to see : what happens next! Man, these tie-ins are : ten times better than the main CW mini! : : And now, according to the solicitations : regarding H4H#4-5, we'll be seeing the : return of Ricadonna, more old villains, and : the return of the Corporation!!! : : --Previous Message-- : Well, of course I picked up "Heroes For : Hire" #2 yesterday, and once again I : was summarily impressed with it. : : We get to spend more time with some more of : the cast this time, including Colleen, : Palladin, and Shang-Chi, and the story : really moves at a good pace. Misty's : conversation with Iron Man was great. I : really liked the way those two interacted, : as well as Colleen and Humbug, and Misty and : Colleen's reactions to Luke. : : Speaking of Cage, he really is written very : well here. We see his loyalty to Cap, his : cynical attitude ("Im bad ideas, this : one just shot to the top ten"), and we : also start to learn a little more about the : reason he went Anti-Reg -- much more, I : might add then Bendis managed to give us in : that awful issue of "New : Avengers." : : The cliffhanger with Palladin selling out : his team was shocking but so in character : for him! He even foreshadows it, looking : back! Although I wonder where Orka was -- I : guess they didn't need muscle for this gig. : About the only complaint I have about this : team is that I don't really see what Black : Cat offers, or why she is on the team. If : it was pared down to Misty, Colleen, Humbug, : Shang-Chi, Tarantula, and Orka, I'd be cool : with that. I doubt Palladin will be working : with the team any time soon! : : I am very happy with this book and am : finding it to be the best team book I am : reading right now -- far ahead of both : "New Avengers" and the relaunch of : "Justice League of America," and : maybe a hair in front of "New : Excalibur." The mix of quirky : characters, solid writing and art, and good : action makes this book a winner all around. : : :
